I can’t broadcast it because as far as I can tell, there is no online community of TextTwist 2 users who stay up late, trading their greatest unscrambled hits. It’s a number of absolutely no consequence. If you can imagine a person splayed on a sofa, with the TV blaring Jeff Probst’s immortal catchphrase, “Come on in, guys!” as fingers madly dance on a phone, you will be able to form a vivid impression of a quintessential 21st century American pastime: pointless multitasking. I speak again, of course, of TextTwist 2. I will say only that the unchallenging mindlessness in which it envelops me is the perfect atmosphere for a recreation of far, far more value to society. I’m not going to delve too deeply here into my enduring loyalty to a show that features not a single activity in which I would ever want to participate. I can, for instance, spend a happy hour twisting text even as I have the television tuned to a complete waste of precious minutes such as “ Survivor.” Yes, I confess: I am one of the 14 people still watching “ Survivor,” despite it being on like its 490th remote tropical island and 12,000th immunity challenge. The beauty of the hand-held word game is that it can be seamlessly integrated into the other distractions I count as shameful time-sucks. Tick, tick, tick goes that stupid time clock! Sitting anywhere - on a train, on a couch, in a theater waiting for a play to start (and the usher to tell me to shut off my phone) - I can tap on the icon, which looks like a “T” wrapped in an unraveled paper clip, and waste a truly ridiculous amount of. But TextTwist 2, well, that’s been a whole other level of trivial pursuit. Oh, I had an intense few months with Dots, engaged in a brief fling with Fish Out of Water, got mixed up for a spell with Draw Something - not a pretty picture. I’ve never been that much of a smartphone game-a-holic. Because I play this infernal, addictive game way too much. I can say, however, that it gives me loads of guilt. And okay, if you must know, I don’t really care at the moment, because -Īs guilty pleasures go, I cannot say for 100 percent certain that TextTwist 2 gives me tons of pleasure. I don’t know exactly how many points it awards or even how it arrives at the totals. The score thingy in the upper right-hand corner of the screen gives me points for successfully decoding RSABBO in the allotted two minutes.
